‘South Park’ Is Going After Trump Like Never Before. It’s Exactly What We Need Right Now.

Satan has taken up residence in the White House.

This isn’t a play-by-play of the current news cycle in America, although it surely sounds like it. This is, in fact, the latest episode of “South Park,” once again scathingly calling out the Trump administration’s absurd antics in real time, and the show isn’t pulling any punches.

- snip -

The most glaring plot, though, involved the return of a beloved character, Towelie, heading to a militarized Washington, D.C., just as Trump has deployed hundreds of National Guard troops in real life to address the city’s “crime emergency” (despite the U.S. Attorney’s Office saying crime hit a 30-year low earlier this year).

- snip -

Season 27’s kickoff episode, which aired July 23, was a roast of epic proportions that not only constantly mocked the president’s “teeny tiny” genitals but also his penchant for litigation, as a Trump character threatens to sue the residents of South Park for protesting Jesus appearing in local schools, forcing them to settle.

The latter was a direct shot at Paramount’s $16 million settlement over a “60 Minutes” lawsuit from Trump amid its massive merger with Skydance, and the brutal storyline came just after “South Park” creators inked a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount. The show didn’t mince words in nodding to more Paramount drama, either, specifically the sudden (and widely criticized) cancellation of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” — which occurred shortly after the host slammed CBS’s settlement.

“You guys saw what happened to CBS? Well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount. You really want to end up like Colbert?” Jesus asks in the episode.

Funny, the makers of “South Park” don’t seem too concerned with suffering the same fate. And if they are, they’re going out guns blazing.

Not surprisingly the plot of the season 27 opener went over Njera’s head. Cartman is alarmed when he learns that Trump took NPR off the air, his principal announces at an assembly that woke is dead, Jesus is back in school, everything that was verboten before is now allowed. Trump does get in bed with Satan but Satan isn’t in the mood. In the next episode Kristi Noem goes on ICE raids and shoots dogs like the Martian ambassador shot doves in Mars attacks. I thought it was wicked satire not pro left propaganda.

South Park going after Trump will only increase his popularity.

Spot-on.

Surely the people who produce that cartoon know this fact.

Yes, but the same could have been said about the decisions at cbs, msdnc, anheuser-busch, target, cracker barrel, etc., etc.... (i.e., know the effects of their decisions)

/s

I just lump it under 'activism' with an in-kind response.

I'm almost curious enough to learn how the author is faring on social media. lol

I literally got denied service at a financial institution today for asking too many questions, the young gal verbalizing, "I feel threatened" due to my "eye lids" (no joke). I walked away telling her that she was insane.

I wonder if sp's next episode will be in "ALL CAPS" /s

I truly hope POTUS posts something hilarious about watching sp after this article.

"Satan has taken up residence in the White House."

Remember when they used the same Satan character in bed with Saddam Hussein?

They can't make fun of his policies, so they make fun of his dick that they've never seen.

Biden and Bragg and Crooks and Mueller couldn’t take down Trump, but South Park will?

They kept making Noem’s face melt and had a whole contingent of make up artists surround her and put her back together. It wasn’t even funny. I wish I looked that good at her age. I got the dog shooting incidents. Back in the early 40’s, my parents had their dog shot because it bit my oldest sister when she was about one.

FTA....... a Trump-like character threatens to sue the residents of “South Park”
for protesting Jesus appearing in local schools......... forcing them to settle.

The latter was a direct shot at Paramount’s $16 million settlement over a “60 Minutes” lawsuit from Trump amid its massive merger with Skydance......

....the brutal storyline came just after “South Park” inked a $1.5Bb streaming deal w/ Paramount.......

The show didn’t mince words wrt the sudden cancellation of “The Late Show
With Stephen Colbert” — which occurred shortly after CBS’s settlement.

“You guys saw what happened to CBS? Well, guess who owns CBS?
Paramount. You really want to end up like Colbert?” Jesus asks in the episode.

Tried to watch it. Just recycling the Sadam Hussein act as Trump. It wasn’t funny when it was Saddam. Just gay Satan jokes and dildos.

After riding that narrow line between left and right for so long, I knew they would either have to go one way or the other. Looks like it’s the other.

Here’s my take... Matt and Trey used to say “we hate Republicans, but we really fucking hate Democrats”. I think they would like to lambaste Democrats more than they do, but since communists have no humor at all, they would have tried to cancel South Park if they had directly targeted Democrats by name. They have to walk fine lines sometimes with a mixture of viewership, so they were a bit more stealthy in how they went after leftists. They did go after Democrat ideas in indirect ways, and I guess Trump pisses them off enough to directly go after him.

All the left has left are screaming in the street and watching cartoons.
